This town of Suffern lies to the northwest of New York city on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. A bus ride of 45 minutes gets one to the Bus Terminal at 42nd Street and from there to the Train Station within Suffern.

A great way to visit Manhattan is to avail of the Weehawken Ferry on the New Jersey side where you are dropped off at their 38th Street dock.
From there a bus is available (no extra charge) to drop you off and pick you up from key routes throughout the city. No hassle with parking - simply park your car on the Jersey side and enjoy the sights that you will appreciate from this vantage point.

If one plans to take non Ferry connected bus rides within Manhattan make sure you have plenty of coins to pay the fare - paper money is not appreciated.
Have a great visit?
